Each
month on classroom visits I will be
talking with the students about one character trait. The focus on
character traits will encourage respect and appreciation for individual
differences. Learning about character traits also helps to create
responsible students who will become productive members of the
community and the broader society.

Character Trait for the month:
Responsibility

Responsibility means doing what you are supposed to do,
always doing your best, using self control and being self disciplined. Responsibility is
accepting the results of your own actions, so decide for your actions to be positive ones.
Act in a way that lifts up both others and you. The responsible person does his or her best
on any task even homework. The responsible person completes the whole job, not part of it.
Follow school and home rules quietly and responsibly. By following rules quietly and
responsibly, these rules become life habits.
